Entry to the Kirchner Museum in Davos "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Between Painting and Photography"

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is among the most important artists of Expressionism. He spent the last 20 years of his life in Davos. At the Kirchner Museum Davos, you have a unique opportunity to discover Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's artworks precisely where they were created.

In the early 20th century, Kirchner experimented with photography. At that time, he was already able to draw on the experiences of other painters who creatively integrated photographic techniques into their painting.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was both a classically trained architect and an avant-garde artist. Therefore, it was unthinkable for him to use photography solely as a technical reproduction method. For him, it was always closely connected to his artistic work.

In this exhibition, you can see how uniquely painting and photography are intertwined in Kirchner’s work.

Experience the incredible expressive power of his images and let yourself be inspired by the breathtaking mountain scenery that inspired this extraordinary artist. The modern Kirchner Museum is situated right in the heart of Davos.
